Together we create magical moments and memorable experiences

Explore 62 North was born out of our desire to share nature’s wonders in a sustainable way that respects local cultures, protects the local environment and global climate. We want to travel with less footprints. We feel so connected to the elements when in the outdoors – nothing calms us more but at the same time energizes us more. We are ourselves when there. We feel like we belong to the ocean and the mountains! Explore 62 North believe in this quote and will do our best to make you a great experience and world class adventure.

Boarding the Westland, my first impression was absolute awe over this beautiful boat. I’ve been on a few sail boats before but this one was by far the most idyllic and cool I’ve seen. Found my favorite little nook on deck where I had my morning coffee every day. And second — the location!!! Sunnmøre is amazing and I feel like I’ve only scratched the surface of what these mountains have to offer, meaning I must go back hehe. So happy and grateful for this trip, it had everything a ski & sail trip should have and more!

I’ve always dreamed of skiing and sailing in the Norwegian fjords and this crew made the experience the best trip I’ve ever been on! With knowledge of the area, really good service and positive attitude they made us feel at home and gave us the best skiing we could have asked for! I would definitely recommend this trip for those who want to ski the best lines of their life’s, eat good food and have a blast while doing it! 💛

I really enjoyed my first ski and sail experience with Westland and the crew! Thanks to Robert and Tore it felt like we became a small family on the boat. The food and especially the snacks were amazing, Tore makes the best Norwegian dishes! They also gave us 10/10 skiing experience, thanks to our tour guide Gordie from Uteguiden. Gordie was very professional and was really experienced. I felt calm and safe on the mountain with our guide. He showed us where we could get the best ski turns and we definitely did!

Topptur på ski med fjordutsikt og eventyrlig matopplevelse

Jeg føler det fortsatt svinger i kroppen enda etter 2 hele døgn på land. Jeg savner morgenkaffen på dekk, menneskene, latteren og til og med lyden av dørene som slår når skøyta gynget i bølgene. Etter en uke på dekk om bord i seilskøyta Westland er kroppen fylt til randen av opplevelser som vil ta tid å fordøye. Explore 62 North bød på så mye mer enn jeg forventet. Jeg visste hva Hjørundfjorden og Sunnmørsalpene hadde å by på, men det ble en e...

Ski and sail March and April 2022

Due to Covid-19 and strict travel restrictions to Norway, we are unfortunately forced to cancel the ski and sail season in 2021. It is a sad decision, but we must take our share of the work and follow orders and guidelines from the Norwegian state. Everyone who has booked a ski and sailing trip with us this season will have the opportunity to travel with us from March onwards in 2022.We welcome all our guests back when we have all been vaccinated...
